Did you get to install the xploit, or does it show the error 21 screen when you load the save?
If it just does the eror 21 after yot installed the xplout and when you start up. Just start the 007 games again and try the xploit.
If it wont let you install the xploit, will work that out if it does.

Ok he said he selected evox as his dashboard and during install the error 21 screen came up. Now every boot up with 007 game in tray or out of tray the error comes up. Can’t get to the MS dash or Evox. Any other suggestions?
Re: Soft-modding Your Xbox The Easy Way!
Would it be possible to do the mechinstaller linux and put a linux distribution onto the dashboard, while your installer is there? or possibly, put linux on first, then use your installer?
seems logical, because teh dashboard is maintained...
Re: Soft-modding Your Xbox The Easy Way!
jmo9669, Have your friend boot the xbox by using the eject switch that should bring up the menu again and allow him to sort it (if I'm thinking of the same mod package anyways.)
An Error 21 refers to the problems with the dashboard (wrong version, files missing etc.) but its strange that he cant boot from a game, as the MS bios bypasses loading the dash if a xbox disc is in the drive. Does the Xbox boot with any other games?
Just out of interest, does he know what version xbox, dash and kernel he has?
Re: Soft-modding Your Xbox The Easy Way!
1.) I have a problem with my soft-mod xbox, i done all the soft-mod and the Evo X screen shows when the Xbox turns on. But there are some games that will not work when i FTP it over to the Xbox, like for example Halo 2 and Ghost Recon 2. They will load up to the title screen and when you press start it will not proceed. These 2 aren't the only 2 games, there are some more too. Please help!
2.) Which drive does the X-box saves its game files into?
Re: Soft-modding Your Xbox The Easy Way!
1. Clear out your cache folder.
2. I don't know where the xbox saves are located.
Re: Soft-modding Your Xbox The Easy Way!
The xbox saves game file in the "E:" drive/partition.

Re: Soft-modding Your Xbox The Easy Way!
this is from the post on installing a new hard drive:
Items Needed:
Modded Xbox (ready to FTP)
Blank cd-r/rw
Torx screwdriver (sizes T-20 and T-10, T-15 is optional)
xboxhdm_v1.9
A nice big harddrive
here it states modded xbox now does this mean modded xbox with a mod chip or softmodded with no chip.
2 posts after the 1 that gives instructions on installing a new hard drive SingaBoiy has another post thats say:
I have another guide coming for installing a new hdd on a softmodded xbox.
I will add images later when I have more time.
Lots of credit comes out to the guys at xbox-scene that found/created these tools
